BIRDS OF A FEATHER

My passion for photography began with an early love affair with birds. They are not only beautiful, but represent the freedom from the bonds of earth and gravity that has made mankind want to fly since time began. The more I watched birds, the more I wanted to photograph them, and I am sharing some of my favourites with you here.

The redstart belongs to the colourful warbler family and is quite widespread in its Eastern North American range. Both males and females love to flaunt their splashy orange or yellow patches in the wings and tail by flicking them open and shut repeatedly while they flit about their business of feeding.
